Although this year's Key Club was not the lavish success that last year was, the Key Club's tradition of service to the school and community was con- tinued, comments president Fran Ruz- icka. This was accomplished with a series of quiet but satisfying projects such as Food for Families, the MACC fund game, the blood drive, and Fire Prevention week. The theme of the year, Dare to Influ- ence, was adhered to by the club of over 160 members. Pamphlets and books dealing with teenage dilemmas were collected by the club in order to form a display in the library. Comprised of more than seventy sen- iors, an unusually larjge number, the club held recruitment rives for sopho- mores and juniors during February. Fran Ftuzicka comments, There were many seniors and they were very active, so we had to recruit so there would be a lot of members for next year. Food for Families, a drive in coop- eration with WISN-TV, allowed for the contribution of much needed food and money to Milwaukee families. The All Key Club Star MACC fund game, a basketball game organized with the Milwaukee Athletes to aid the fight against cancer, raised over 1000 dollars. The last of the club's annual events, the Fire Prevention Week, saw Key Club members at area grade schools pres- enting a slide show. Vice President Steve Topetzes says, The slide presen- tation gave us an opportunity to create an awareness in the younger students, and besides, it was a lot of fun for those involved. Key Club's history of commitment to the mentally handicapped was not shaken this year. With the assistance of club members in various programs for the handicapped, such as the Special Olympics, it was a success. Members also played bingo with the elderly and made plans for weekend card parties, which would also be held for the elderly. Comments senior Tom Dockery, The look of a young child when he or she makes a basket, or the warmth that eminates from a senior citizen when you lend an ear, makes it all worthwhile. New projects include a blood drive which utilized student donors. Students had to be eighteen or seventeen with parental permission. Also, the Central Club attempted to begin two new area Key Clubs, one in Cedarburg and the other in Sussex Hamilton. Representatives from Central worked to find the minimum 25 mem- bers needed for a new club and also convinced the school boards of the assets of a Key Club. Not only does Key Club offer its activ- ities to the member, but it also provides the school and community with a serv- ice organization to be proud of. After being in the Key Club for three years, I wish that I would have become more involved ear- lier in high school. Even though I did get a late start, working on bingo and Monday Night Football programs at Westmoreland Manor were very rewarding expe- riences to me as a senior. As far as service organizations go, Key Club is one of the finest. - Tom Merkel 135 The Kazaa Band performs before the home- coming crowd.

Student Council Student Council As Student Council advisor, I view the Council's function as being the liason between many factions here at Central. It is, and has been, this function we've addressed through leadership and concern. This pur- pose, as Ms. Hensel puts it, is fulfilled by Student Council through their many activi- ties and services for students and the com- munity. The Council's traditional projects include organizing the Homecoming dance, which involves, among other things, putting up decorations, finding a band, and choosing the theme song, and the annual Southern Center drive. This year the Council raised over S2700, which was used to buy presents for the mentally retarded persons living at the Center. Council member Steve Topetzes remarks, Despite the lack of an assembly such as the one we had last year, the enthusiasm of the Council was unshaken, and thanks to great student participation, this year's collection was successful. An intra-school anti-litter campaign and a dance to raise money for the Lancer-Spar- tan Scholarship Fund were also conducted. Another Council activity was participation in the Braveland Conference Student Coun- cil Association, which meets four times a year to discuss common problems, compare programs, and set up interschool exchange days, in which Central students have the opportunity to attend another area school for a day. The reward of the year's efforts comes in the form of a Wisconsin Association of Stu- dent Councils' Standards of Excellence rat- ing, the result of an evaluation of the year's activities written by the Council and submit- ted in March to the WASC. Central's Council has been awarded an A rating for the past four years. Student Council has been a good experi- ence for me, states Caroline Hogan. lfve learned to organize, to follow through with projects, and to work with all kinds of peo- ple. Tom Merkel concludes, As School Board Representative, l've had the opportunity to be a bridge between the Council, the stu- dents, and the Board. To me, this is one of the most important functions of the organi- zation. in President Carrie Haufschild works in the Coun- cil ottice.
